The story of the diligent and studious celebrity Gorky

When it comes to the Russian writer Gorky, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Gorky was born in poverty and lost his father when he was young. He has been struggling to make a living since he was 11 years old. Slums, bakeries, and docks were his early life lessons. Faced with the pressure of such a difficult life, Gorky never gave up cultural learning and spiritual pursuits. His serious criticism of reality and unremitting pursuit of ideals made him enter the Russian literary world and become a dazzling new star. The following are the diligent and studious stories of the famous celebrity Gorky that I have carefully collected for everyone. I hope it can help everyone!

"I threw myself on books, like a hungry person on bread. "The same."

This is a famous saying by the famous Soviet writer Gorky, and it is also a true portrayal of his love of books and diligent study.

Gorky was born in a working-class family in the Tsarist era. He lost his parents at an early age and was thrown into the dark "human" society when he was only eleven years old. When he was working as a dishwasher on the ship Kindness, he met a kind-hearted poor cook Smuller. Smuller loved him like a little brother and often stuffed him with some old books he collected. In his hand, he said: "You should study. There are all important knowledge in the book."

"A person without knowledge is no different from a cow. Either he brings a pulley or a cow." When people are killed and eaten, their tails are still wagging." When Smuller and Gorky parted, his last words were still the same, "Go to school, this is the best thing."

The chef's simple and enthusiastic words were deeply engraved in Gorky's heart, and he was eager to read. However, it was not easy for a poor child like him to study. He could not get into school at all and could only rely on self-study. When he didn't have money to buy books, he borrowed some from the tailor's wife, collected some worn-out magazines and pictures, and even "went around like a beggar to get them."

When he finally got some books, new ones The difficulty came again: Where can I find time to read?

He was working as a servant in a draftsman's house. In addition to the triple job of manservant, maid and "street worker", he also had to post design drawings. , copying engineering design documents, and reviewing the details of the contractor's account, he was so busy all day long that there was no space for inserting pins, so he could only drag his tired body to read late at night.

Even so, I still can’t read it. The ignorant and rude old housewife of the cartographer's family tried her best to prevent Gorky from studying. As soon as she found Gorky studying, she would beat him and scold him severely. Otherwise she would mark the candle to prevent Gorky from using it. She also searched the small attic where Gorky lived. When she found Gorky's books, she tore them up or burned them.

In order to deal with this vicious old woman, Gorky came up with a way. He deliberately rented some small books with colorful covers and placed them in easily exposed places for the old woman to destroy. Although good books could be protected in this way, the penniless Gorky owed a heavy debt of forty kopecks to the bookstore owner.

One time, Gorky secretly read a book while working. Unexpectedly, he became enchanted while watching. As a result, the samovar melted. The old housewife beat Gorky viciously with a goad. Had a meal. In the hospital, doctors removed forty-two thorns from his back. This cruel atrocity also angered the doctor. The doctor said it was a lynching and supported Gorky in going to court to sue. But Gorky said that it didn't matter whether he was accused or not. My only request was that I should be allowed to read.

In order to be able to read, Gorky racked his brains. When he had no place to look, he hid in the utility room or climbed to the attic on the roof to look. When there was no oil to light the lamp, he scraped the wax off the candlestick, put it in an old can box, and found some cotton thread to make a homemade lamp wick. A simple lamp, although the light was dim and smoky, he read with gusto under the lamp, his eyes were red from the smoke, and he almost went blind, but he didn't care.

Gorky and the book have an indissoluble bond, and he cannot break up with the book no matter what the circumstances.

Later, he worked in a private room of a house and had to do sixteen hours of hard work every day, but he still insisted on reading. He picked a few scraps of firewood to build a bookshelf, spread out the books on it, and then kneaded the dough while reading. One day, the factory owner suddenly broke in and saw Gorky reading a book. The factory owner grabbed the book and threw it into the fire. Gorky's lungs almost exploded with anger. You know, this is a masterpiece by Tolstoy. Gorky couldn't put it down, and the factory owner wanted to burn it. Wouldn't that simply cost him his life? Gorky couldn't care about anything, and he suddenly grabbed the factory owner's arm. , shouted angrily: "How dare you burn that book!" The factory owner was shocked by the furious Gorky and had to return the book to him.

Due to his diligence and studiousness, Gorky was already well-read when he was just fifteen years old. He has read famous works by Alexandre Dumas, Hugo, Balzac, Heine, Dickens, Bernard Shaw, Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Turgenev, Tolstoy and other art masters. . Although he was a poor orphan, he became a knowledgeable young man.

Gorky said: "All my knowledge was given to me by books.

"When he recalled the scene of studying in his childhood, he once wrote: "I dream of enjoying the happiness of studying as a college student, and I am even willing to endure any torture. Suppose someone suggested to me: ‘You go and study! But every Sunday, for your studying, we will beat you with a stick on Nikolayev Square. ’ I think, even with this condition, I can probably accept it.
